WIW 10/20: Orange and navy with a splash of white

I think skinny pants are definitely becoming a wardrobe essential for me. So easy to toss on and go! I had to be up and ready for the contractors by 7 a.m. this morning so I reached for some easy pieces and I think it worked out okay. What do you think?

Orange pants: Banana Republic c/o Suz
Navy bird print blouse: ModCloth
Navy blazer: GAP
White and navy pumps: Seychelles
White satchel: Banana Republic
Studded belt: Streets Ahead

House report: My contractor texted me yesterday that she was at a thrift shop and had found a pair of awesome lamps for $45 for the pair, and did I want them? Did I WANT them? I think they are awesome and I can totally see them working in any room in the house! Vintagey, silver, round -- what's not to like? Plus they look like C3PO's eyes! LOL

Ahhh, orange and blue together, one of my favs. I just seem to have a hard time DOING it! This looks wonderful on you, I esp like the little bit of pattern mixing brought in by your belt. This does NOT look "easy", so well done.

And love the lamps, how great to have someone on the lookout for you!

Wow I love bright colors and this hits it out of the park for me. I always loved contrast trim too so the shoes have always made me a little jealous every time I see them in one of your WIWs. And all before 7am? On a Monday? My word.

Cool lamps too and how thoughtful of her.

Great lamps!

Those lamps are the bomb. What kind of shade will you have built for them?

MsMary

Gonna have to talk to my designer about lamp shades. I guess it will depend on what room we put them in. I can totally see them with black shades for the guest room, or... we'll see!

Love the orange, LOVE the lamps. Looking good Mary!

Orange and blue is a favorite combo of mine, too. I will have to try to replicate, but I don't have those awesome orange pants.

Did I hear you say that your contractor is a woman??? That might be my favorite thing about your post today, actually.

MsMaven

Easy? Yes. Chic--very! All your effort to build a great wardrobe is serving you well in this stressful, but exciting time in your life.

The splash of white MAKES the look. Perfect for today's blog post. You look gorgeous, Mary.

And very fun new lamps. xo

Such fun new lamps!!

Love orange paired with navy, and the crisp white makes the deeper colors really. YLF!

Aw, thanks, ladies!

MsMaven, yes! I am so happy to have my lovely wardrobe to support me while the house is in chaos!

And Kristin, yes!! My contractor is indeed a woman and she is just amazing! We're almost three months in and I still love her as much as I did on the first day. Maybe more!

Angie, so funny! I didn't see the blog post until after I'd gotten dressed! Fashion synchronicity!

I NEVER find cool house stuff thrifting! Those are awesome - the Force will be with you!

Also, you look great.
